Toughest fighter of all-time? - Page 2

fight fan

Barney Ross was another tough SOB! He was never KOed in his entire career. He was not a big puncher (similar to LaMotta) only 22KO's in 72 victories. He was world champ in the lightweight, Jr welterweight and welterweight divisions and only tasted the canvas once or twice in fights he won! He had exciting multi fight rivalries against hall of famers Jimmy McLarnin and Tony Canzoneri. His fights with McLarnin and Canzoneri were some of the greatest toe to toe wars in history!

Only one of his fights were fixed and he didn't go down in it, he pretty much dropped his hands and took a beating until the 4th when the ref stopped it.
I say Jake LaMotta is the toughest because he took bad punishment to win his fights especially the Lauraunt Dauthille fight were Dauthille beat him up for 14 rounds until 30 secs before the bell of the final round LaMotta knocked him out.

I think that Ali is the Toughest of all time by watching the "Rumble in the Jungle" fight with George Foreman. He was taking all of the punches that foreman threw (which were really hard ones).

Randall Cobb. Took 15 rounds of ****kick from Holmes, and stayed upright.

Because he was a boxer, people overlook Holmes' toughness.
He was as tough as they come.....but his brains overshadowed this fact.

Good one, hunna.
